Olng’arua School Photo Journal

Skipping rope is the current craze in the school. At each 15 minute break between classes all the children rush out to jump rope. This little girl impressed everyone by jumping so high, and laughing so much when she did.

Each child brings a stick of firewood with them when they come to school, to feed the fire that cooks their lunch.

Our solar water pump takes all day to fill the school tanks, as apposed to 45 minutes with a petrol pump. But who cares!? We have plenty of sunshine and this lovely little pump quietly and cleanly fills our tanks for the week by the end of the day.

Our Environment is our home, we should not destroy it.

Members of the Lion group are getting ready to chop a school’s worth of carrots, and probably onions, potatoes, tomatoes, cabbage….

The squirrel tables are always the most gossipy of all the lunch tables, what they lack in size the squirrels make up for in laughter and energy.

These two rivers have flooded repeatedly over the last couple of months, cutting off the school from the outside world.
